Effect of additional regularity for the initial data on semi-linear $\sigma$-evolution equations with different damping types

Abstract

In this paper, we would like to study the critical exponent for semi-linear $\sigma$-evolution equations with different damping types under the influence of additional regularity for the initial data. On the one hand, we establish the existence of global (in time) solutions for small initial data and the blow-up in finite time solutions in the supercritical case and the subcritical case, respectively. The very interesting phenomenon is that the critical case belonging to the global solution range or the blow-up solution range depends heavily on the assumption of additional regularity for the initial data. Furthermore, we are going to provide lifespan estimates for solutions when the blow-up phenomenon occurs.
